On Sunday 24 March 2024, hundreds of runners, families, and book lovers will descend on Battersea Park for the Where’s Wally? Fun Run, raising money for the National Literacy Trust.
The Where’s Wally? Fun Run is a race like no other. Every runner taking part will be dressed up as beloved fictional character Where’s Wally, creating a sight to behold on race day as a sea of Wallys takes on a 10km, 5km, or a 2.5km challenge for kids, in one of London’s most scenic parks.
Once you've signed up, we'd love you to fundraise for the National Literacy Trust and be part of changing children's life stories. Everyone who raises £100 and above will be entered into a draw with the chance to win some brilliant prizes.
Who is the Where's Wally? Fun Run for?
The race is fun for all the family (including furry, four-legged friends) and perfect for everyone from casual runners or friends walking together, to serious runners looking for a not-so-serious challenge ahead of the London Marathon.
Every participant will receive:
- Official Where's Wally? costume
- Collectible medal
- Chip timed results
- Fundraising support from our friendly team
- Chance to win extra goodies!
